this is a step in the wrong direction. why would I ever want a canned response, even if from AI? Phone IVR systems are already so badly "programmed" you objectively have to say "operator" over and over to reach a person.

In this day an age, this is all the more reason to pick up a phone and call someone.

The unique ones are more likely to inadvertently imply something you didn't intend ...
